About this home
A genuine piece of Virginia history on 6.09 acres adjoining the George Washington National Forest! This authentic early-1800s hand-hewn log cabin, thoughtfully expanded in the 1940s, offers a remarkable combination of historic character, natural beauty, and modern improvements.
At the heart of the property is the original early-1800s one-room log cabin, with its hand-hewn logs still forming the walls of the home today. Around 1946, two additional wings were constructed using historic telephone and telegraph poles, some still displaying their original numbered and lettered plaques. These distinctive additions expanded the home while preserving the character and craftsmanship of the original structure.
Offering approximately 1,127 square feet, the main home features 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, a spacious kitchen, and inviting living areas. An original river-stone fireplace and two wood-burning stoves add warmth and rustic charm, while numerous improvements provide modern convenience.
Recent updates include a new metal roof and gutters, new vinyl windows, insulation, updated 200-amp electrical service, PEX plumbing, new kitchen flooring, and a brand-new Samsung range. Additional features include a washer and dryer, water filtration system, expansion tank, and electric baseboard heating in the bathroom. The property is served by a 1,000-gallon cistern and septic system.
A separate detached one-bedroom living quarter provides additional flexibility for guests, extended stays, a studio, or a private retreat. Additional historic outbuildings and a hidden unfinished loft add even more character and possibilities.
And then there is the land.
Approximately three acres of open grassland and elevated plateaus are surrounded by mature native trees, including red and white oak, chestnut, and persimmon. Two streams cross the property, while a natural lawn surrounds the cabin. Deer, turkey, and abundant birdlife are part of the peaceful surroundings, with the adjoining forest providing a natural habitat for wildlife.
Two porches offer inviting places to relax and enjoy the setting. Just steps from the cabin, a fire pit constructed from river stones gathered from the property's streams creates a memorable gathering place beneath an expansive night sky filled with stars.
Perhaps most extraordinary is the property's direct adjacency to the George Washington National Forest, with protected land stretching beyond the private 6.09 acres. Accessed by a private road off a winding forestry lane, this secluded setting offers an escape surrounded by nature.
With Agricultural/Residential zoning, no HOA, and internet service options through Starlink or HughesNet, the property combines historic charm with practical conveniences. Some furnishings will convey, along with a riding lawn mower, adding even more value and convenience for the next owner.
Some properties can be understood from a list of features. This one needs to be experienced. Walk through the original cabin, discover its remarkable construction, follow the streams, relax on the porches, and experience the beauty of 208 Jake's Lane for yourself.
